What is ‘Embodiment’?
Ultimately this is a free movement practice.
You are invited to explore and follow your own unique dance
There are three key ingredients of this practice:
· Movement
· Breathe
· Awareness
This practice is about embodying what is. Allowing what you feel, think, experience to be invited into movement through the body.
It is simply meditation in movement.
What do I do?
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Stretch and warm up your body.
2. Pace Yourself. Respect your body’s needs and limitations. Be responsible for your own body. There is no need to push.
3. Move how you feel and stay open to changing. Stretch yourself and experiment with different ways of moving and connecting.
4. This meditation is an invitation to drop the words and speak with your body.
5. Practice Presence. Just notice when you get distracted and gently bring your attention back to your feet, the beat, the breath, your dance.
6. It’s not just about the Music. The music is a platform for practice. You don’t have to love it - just respond
7. Have fun!
What do I bring?
1. Bring some water to drink.
2. Wear comfortable clothes to move in, layers are best.
3. Dance barefoot or in comfortable footwear
Do I need to have dance experience?
No, This practice is open to all who have a desire to move. It is a place to come and move as you wish to move, dance how you feel to dance.
If you have never danced before or have spent most of you life dancing you are most welcome.
Can I come for 1 session to try it out?
Yes, you are very welcome to come to the drop in evening on Wednesdays (see 'weekly classes')
If you do find you are interested in the practice after the session you can come as often or as seldom as you wish.
This is a meditation practice and as such offers more benefits with regular practice.
